Danse Macabre: First Danse Vidor, Texas USA December 1, 2023 2R+F 25 players Darby Keeney vdb.im/decks/f2d56fda96214ccb95f171f40d4703c8 Deck Name: Obamium (312) Created by: Darby Keeney Description: Anarch-based Gangrel Wall (5 Baron version). Credit to Karl Schaefer's snarky "Thanks Obama" comment for inspiring the deck's new name. Thanks to the members of Pakled Project for helpful library suggestions and crypt tweaks. Kudos to Kelly Lyons for running another great tournament weekend. -- Tournament Summary -- A good (4 VP) second game got me into the final as second seed. The seating was Andy (Brujah Org Resist gun wall) --> Karl (Montano Purge) --> Sydney (Matasuntha wall) --> Jesper (non-turbo Nergal bleed) --> Me (Gangrel wall). No one wanted top seed Montano to get going. I bounced Jesper's opening 5-bleed to Karl and a flurry of Reckless Agitations from Andy fixed that problem before the first Purge fired. Added bonus: I was now the de facto top seed, though I'm behind a VP with sequential wall decks to my left. Jesper soon Dared the Dawn on a Heart equip and couldn't leave torpor. Joaquín threw himself on a diablerie grenade, giving me space to eventually deplete Andy's endless supply of Organized Resistances while Sidney slowly bled Jesper out. With less than 15 minutes remaining at the heads-up, I just waited out the rest of the game with 2 Sniper Rifles and at least one S:CE in hand.

Out-of-turn play feels smoother in this version. Action (12) 1x Aranthebes, The Immortal -- dual purpose card, but not needed in this tournament. 2x Rewilding -- 2 feels like the bare minimum. 1x Status Perfectus, The -- didn't need the third anti-Form of Mist card this tournament. 8x Thing Equipment (5) 1x Camera Phone -- would still love to duplicate this, but went with a Heart instead. 1x Heart of Nizchetus 1x Ivory Bow -- sits on either a 2-bleeder or the dedicated Status vampire. 2x Sniper Rifle Retainer (5) 1x Dog Pack 4x Raven Spy Action Modifier (3) 3x Earth Control Action Modifier/Combat (1) 1x Rapid Change Action Modifier/Reaction (4) 4x Form of the Bat Reaction (27) 5x Bait and Switch 6x Deep Ecology 4x Eyes of the Wild 2x On the Qui Vive 8x Organized Resistance 2x Protection Racket -- Feels right overall, I wouldn't want any more Eyes of the Wild and plan to keep the 2x OtQV for the inevitable Salubri Sleeping Mind decks. Combat (14) 10x Earth Meld 4x Form of Mist Event (1) 1x Uncoiling, The -- either great or useless.

removed due to brain f*rt Also: OP could just edit and format the crypt correctly <INSERT CLEVER QUOTATION HERE>

Corrected in my post, which should be the one used for TWDA entry I guess. I was going to try to set the Github pull, but unfortunately Github says my account is somehow screwed and has not yet responded to inquiry for remediation.
